Other than Talon Grips, is there any other company producing a stick on material for the front strap of a 1911? Iím sure I read about some kind of material that resembles stippling, but canít recall where or what it was. Specifically I want it for a Colt Defender and would prefer a material that would blend well with the finish on the lightweight frame.

Iíve done some searching but was unsuccessful in locating anything, either on this site or through a Google search. Thanks in advance for your help. God bless.

I like the 3M stair tape, which has a sort of rubbery, rather than sandy texture.
I've had a piece on one of my guns for over ten years, and it's still stuck tight.

I got a piece of tape, from an unknown source, that is white/clear sand on a clear tape, which is translucent and looks great on a stainless or plated frame.

Got a precut set of 2 from Tractiongrips via eBay. Running one on a rotation carry compact that seems to work nicely. Applied after alcohol clean & then heated with hair dryer to “mold” in. Slight bit of initial trim was needed because they come fit for full / std grip frame.
Cost was like $6.00 for 2.

The key to make them stay in place is heating them up with a hair dryer or something similar after putting them on, I use cooking stove and it works fine too.

One can, if they measure accurately, tape a piece across the front strap and then secure the two ends under the grip panels. This pretty much covers the entire front strap and keeps it in place almost without fail.
